There really is no money in Emoji.
Apple doesn't sell for the basic or somewhat intermediate level Emoji. So where is the money? I highly doubt any user above 14 will decide NOT to purchase an iPhone cause it doesn't support basic Emoji over iMessage.

Even 1 second is a waste of time beyond basic. As such Emoji in TouchBar pure waste. The comic is you even challenging this as if there is worth in Emoji lol.
It’s tough to know how to respond to this gibberish, other than to say you at least have the self awareness to know he didn’t spend time on it, and what you said was garbage.

For a lot of customers much like with another luxury (car) brand like Range Rover they wont give a damn about its "super improved " performance or features or even use a third of them (my sister has never touched ANY of the camera functions or used Airdrop etc etc) - She just knows that for a phone you have an Apple phone much like if you want a 4 x 4 (and you have the money) you have a Range Rover.
Right so the presentation means no time on Emoji and I'm talking garbage right? First I mention Craig and his team wasted time on further developing Emoji beyond basics in Messaging. Someone chimed it's to follow the money, and I countered with where is the monetary gain in doing so? No reply as there is none.
Wasted development when much more can be done with iOS. Clearly you fail to see this.
The feature described is like Snapchat. That’s Snapchat, a company whose IPO will be $20bn. No money there says the armchair CEO. Fire Tim, put DeepIn2U in charge
I'm gonna either need to not update my apps or get a lot more storage. So many apps duplicating features nowadays.

I claim wasted development when much more can be done with iOS. The fact that you cannot refute any sort of time yet only challenge how much time was spent when nobody except for the internal development team for iOS can really know doesn't make your statements any more intelligent than mine. These are new "features" which I'm highly curious and yet doubtful (considering poor end user and fan feedback at touchBar introduction focusing on emoji) there is a big demand to use these emoticons beyond their basic need or implementation.
Clearly you fail to understand my rebuttal on this, just challenging and insulting for the sake of such.
An example of time better spent is in Health API in such that all apps can right to an API and share the data amongst one another, and further begin to work with experts in the field to see projected betterment of health longevity.
E.g.
Nike Run club, MyFitnessPal, Gymaholic, and similar apps all collect unique data. The end user can enable data writing and sharing to Health. Health's Nutrition section seems to not show. Or record data for Vitamin B6/B12 from the foods and protein shakes and supplements I've recorded daily. Data writing and sharing is enabled. Moreover, is personally like to see how some exercises could lead to better heart health, muscle strength/health, cardio vascular health.
I'm sure many of us have family or ourselves with Diabetes complications would live to have nutritionists and family doctors updated on our daily food intake along with insulin regulation. Yes there are legal hurdles and ramifications to consider for access and accuracy Apple would have to consider heavily but some efforts to show users what their looking at would be great. Heck working with partners and competitors into unifying a standard would be great for everyone.
Emojis have heir place to show expression of emotion, no doubt about that. I just feel communication is fallen where people should take the effort to express their emotions beyond a picture (or noting picture) that is animated versus the pen or their own face. Too much of a disconnect. Emoji allows for speed of emotional communication, having a 3D animated Emoji takes more time for the end user to setup and send. Fun for now but I think in the long run it'll not be heavily used.

Lol jokes.
Snapchats valuation dropped considerably from he hyped initial launch! Snapchats main glory to financial fame is temporary messaging that is purged nor saved after viewing and cannot be shared! Not an Emoji. Get it together. Everybody is coping SnapChats features which lessons the impact.

Exactly.
I think I could take you more seriously talking about communication if this actually read as correct english to be honest. I also remember the same arguments about SMS. The idea that Apple themselves are somehow not adding features to iOS as their entire crew struggle at the rock-face of improving Emoji's is an absurd one too.
